What could you conclude if you observed an animal with feathers that couldn't fly?
There are many species of flightless birds alive today, including the Ostrich, Emu, Kiwi, Cassowary and the many varieties of Penguin.
As an adaptation, flight is an excellent way of avoiding predators, but it uses a lot of energy and keeps the animal small and light (and so quite vulnerable)
So if an animal could somehow do without such high energy demands, it would definitely evolve to do without them.
It is not a coincidence then that the vast majority of flightless bird species have evolved on islands where predatory mammals are non-existent, or of low threat.
Recently extinct flightless bird species such as the Dodo of Mauritius and the Moa of New Zealand became extinct due to a powerful predator they had no experience of, or protection against (largely because they couldn't fly away!).
That predator was Man.

What type of animal was a dodo?
Dodo birds are extinct due to the actions of humans...so, if you see animal now it was alive in the time of the Dodo bird. General consensus is that the last animal died in the late 17th earily-18th century.
It was indigenous to Mauritius Island had no fear of humans and couldn't fly so was easily caught.
The fact that humans brought dogs, cats, pigs et cetera (that ate eggs, chicks and birds) and destroyed much of their habitat along with consumption of the birds by people led to the extinction of the both the Dodo and the Red Rail (another flightless bird).
Actually it is spelled Dodo. Click on the related links section indicated below for information on a Dodo Bird.
How did the dodo behave and How long did it live?
It behaved very confidently and where not afraid of humans - this made them easier to hunt. But they were known to be not aggressive. And they lived until the 17th century
Why did the dodos get extinct?
The dodos got extinct because people hunted them and because people destroyed their habitat
